Letters To The
Editor
Truckers Have New
Laws To Study Now
Texas truckers have a pair of
new laws to bone up on within the
next few days.
Homer Garrison, Jr., Director of
the Texas Department of Public
Safety, has announced that the
two measures, which were enacted
by the 53rd Texas Legislature, will
go into effect on August 26th.
One of the laws provides that if
a, trucker overloads his vehicle in
excess of the gross weight for
which it is registered and is caught
by the officers; he will be required
to apply to the nearest available
county tax assessor-collecj^pr for
additional registration in an
amount to take care of his over-
load before he can continue his
trip. If he is over the maximum
legal weight, Garrison said, he can
still be unloaded on the spot, un-
der the old law, before being al-
lowed to proceed. Exception is
made in the case of livestock or
perishable merchandise, in which
instances the operator shall be
permitted to seek the nearest
practical point along his route
where his load may be protected
from damage or destruction before
being required to secure the addi-
tional registration.
Theother law, Garrison explain-
ed, provides, generally, that any
operator, other than the registered
owner or his agent, of a commer-'
cial motor vehicle or truck tractor
must file with the State Safety
Department a copy of the lease
or other agreement under which
the vehicle is being operated. In
addition, he must carry copies of
the lease and of the letter of trans-
mittal to the Department in the
vehicle.
K«mt Odom, Chief of the license
and Weight . Division of the Texas
Department of Public Safety, said
that this law is designed to curb
“outlaw” truckers who afford no
protection to shippers. He said that
a copy of the booklet, giving de-
tailed explanations of the law’s
provisions, will be sent to any
trucker who requests it by writing
to him at Austin.

Dear Woody:
Please let me thank you for your
cooperation in connection with the
Anzalduas Dam campaign.
It was a pleasure to work with
you on this matter, and while I
regret that it did not work out as
we had hoped, I think the cam-
paigs did alert the people of the
county to the need for settlement
without further delay of all ele-
ments of our water problems,
whether relating to drouth or
flood.
I will be looking forward to join-
ing you on other important public
problems in the future, for I am
quite certain that many important
decisions are going to be required
on Valley water matters in the
not too distant future.
Sincerely,
Brad H. Smith.

Texas University
To Offer Course
In Community Affairs
The University of Texas will
offer in February a new course
to help businessmen, ministers,
and professional people prepare
for careers in small communities.
The course will be a study of
changing economic, social and cul-
tural conditions in small towns,
Wilfrid C. Bailey said.
He will teach theanthropology
course, designed to give back-
ground information for understand-
ing and solving small-community
problems.
Radio, television, new highways,
and better cars, trucks and air-
craft are breaking down the inso-
lation of small communities and
drastically changing patterns of
business and living in general,
Bailey commented.
For example, better highways and
transportation are encouraging lo-
cation of new industries in small
towns, he said. A new industry
means a shorter work week, new
incomes and new residents who
may have social and cultural tastes
differing from those of long-time
residents.
By studying what is happening
in small communities, a person will
be better prepared to understand
and solve problems he may face in
his own career, Bailey poisted out.

fore serving time.
When cooking fresh vegetables,
use a minimum amount of water.
This means from % to 1 cup de-
pending upon the amount of veg-
etable and its type. Cook quickly,
covered.
To thaw frozen vegetables be-
fore cooking, leave them at room
temperature for 30 minutes. This
speeds the cooking process. Water
may be brought to boiling point be-
fore the vegetables are added, if
desired.
Overcooking decreases the pal-
atability of vegetables. They should
have some crispness when they’re
served. Season to taste after cook-
ing with butter, meat drippings,
salt and pepper or spices, as de-
sired.
